Everyone loves dessert. Whether it be cake, cookies, ice cream or simply a spoonful of sugar, dessert announces the end of a meal. It says, "You may now go forth into the world and conquer."

I make no claim to being able to create a great dessert, but I adore watching the dessert competition shows on television. It's satisfying to watch bakers’ dreams come true, and I fantasize that maybe one day, I'll dare to bake for money.

What's missing from these kitchens however are Southern desserts. Not to say the various baker doesn't go Southern now and again, but a whole series on competing with Southern desserts is in order. At first, I wondered if there would be enough material for that many episodes. Then, I thought, "Of course!"

"Southern Sweets and Sass" would consist of three rounds. The first would be a Tiny Taste round for candies and other mini-treats. The second would be Pretty, Pretty Pies round for you-know-what. The third and final round would be for cakes, maybe called Cakes Come Calling.

The episodes would be varied, and while I don't have all the creative angles worked out yet, some network executive who gets paid way more than me could keep things fresh. Some of the obvious episodes could highlight New Orleans (king cake, anyone?), college football, beach living, Georgia peaches, fried foods and sugared goodness knows what else.

In fact, if there are any television producers out there reading, I’m happy to be a judge for the series premiere should you need one. The other judges would be the experts on the actual baking, so I could just offer words of encouragement to the contestants.

For the Tiny Taste round of the series premier, I’d love to see some divinity. This light and fluffy confection has been a favorite of mine since my grandmother made it for me growing up. She was awesome that way.

Moving on to the Pretty, Pretty Pies round, that’s a toss up. I’m not a lover of fruit pies, but I love so many of the other ones. Key lime pie comes immediately to mind, though I’m sure I’ll be eventually swayed into a strong appreciation for pecan pie.

Then, before my taste buds explode, I’ll be forced, absolutely forced, to eat cake, much as proposed by Marie Antionette. I don’t really have a preference here, and I’d be open to tasting any delicious cake. It could range from the classic orange chiffon cake to the more modern Coca-Cola cake. Yum!

I’d appreciate it if you could contact your favorite channel, including services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, to let them know you want to see Southern Sweets and Sass on the small screen. It’s sure to be a hit!
